Playlist or subdirectory playback?

[kamingo]

Hello again....

is it possible to playback all directories in a row without using playlist?
example

Dir: Matrix
|_Dir: Matrix1
| |_moviefile matrix1.avi
|_Dir: Matrix2
| |_moviefile matrix2.avi
|
How can i handle it that pbo plays matrix1 and matrix2 in a row without moving
both files in one directory?
If thats not possible, can i make playlists without an internal harddisk?
All my files are stored on a fileserver so there is no need for a internal harddisk. Even if there would be an internal, for sure network files couldnt be added to playlists,or?

thanks in advance

Hi kamingo,

I use m3u playlists with video files and it works just fine. I suggest you use relative paths to the video files. Using your example...

Dir: Matrix
|_Dir: Matrix1
| |_moviefile matrix1.avi
|_Dir: Matrix2
| |_moviefile matrix2.avi
|_Dir: Playlist
| |_matrix.m3u

In the matrix.m3u file you would have:

..\Matrix1\matrix1.avi
..\Matrix2\matrix2.avi

Or you could go with the playlist directly in the top Matrix directory...

Dir: Matrix
| |_matrix.m3u
|_Dir: Matrix1
| |_moviefile matrix1.avi
|_Dir: Matrix2
| |_moviefile matrix2.avi

In this case, the matrix.m3u would have:

Matrix1\matrix1.avi
Matrix2\matrix2.avi

You can definitely do this with USB attached devices.
